Cascade Pacific Council

Prepared. For Life.

Historic Merit Badge Clinics

The council held four merit badge clinics for the four historic merit badges that were offered during the Centennial year of Scouting (2010).  Each of the badges, Tracking, Pathfinding, Carpentry, and Signalling, were the focus of a day at Scouters' Mountain, with experts in related fields offering hands-on training.  About 100 Scouts attended each session.  To view photos of one session, Carpentry, click one of the photos below:
